Jack White Cancels Tour After Keyboardist Dies

Jack White has cancelled the rest of his tour of Mexico after the death of his band's keyboard player.

Isaiah "Ikey" Owens, 38, was found dead in his Puebla hotel room on Tuesday morning.

Owens was from Long Beach, California, but had recently moved to Nashville, Tennessee, to perform with the former White Stripes frontman's backing band.

They were scheduled to perform in Guadalajara on Tuesday and Monterrey on Wednesday.

"We will all miss you Ikey," the band said in a statement. "You were and are an incredible artist."

Owens began playing with White in 2012, appearing on his solo debut, Blunderbuss, and his most recent record, Lazaretto.

He also played in other bands, including Mars Volta and Free Moral Agents.

The cause of his death has not yet been confirmed.
